Who Is Nolimit City?
Nolimit City is a Malta-headquartered slot studio acquired by Evolution in 2022, known for extreme-volatility, feature-dense titles such as San Quentin xWays and Duck Hunters.
- Catalogue exceeds 60 published slots on major game indexes
- Games reach players through operator integrations rather than a standalone casino brand
- Duck Hunters (February 2025) ranks among its more prominent recent releases
Inside Nolimit City's Approach to Slot Design
Nolimit City built its name as an independent B2B supplier rather than a white-label shop, keeping math, art and platform work in-house. That structure shows in the density of its releases: proprietary mechanics like xWays, Infectious xWays, xNudge and xSplit recur across dozens of titles, giving the studio a recognisable engine that players can identify from casino to casino.
Duck Hunters carries that engine forward. Its 6x5 scatter-pays grid, cascading wins and position multipliers that can climb toward 8,192x per spot are drawn from the same design language as earlier hits like San Quentin xWays and Fire in the Hole, just applied to a hunting-satire theme rather than a prison or mining setting.
The 2022 acquisition by Evolution folded Nolimit City into a much larger corporate group without erasing the brand. Games still publish under the Nolimit City name, and the studio's release cadence has, if anything, kept pace — roughly a title per month according to third-party slot catalogues, with Duck Hunters slotting into that schedule in early 2025.
Reception of the studio centres on two consistent themes: technical trust and volatility warnings. Reviewers treat Nolimit City as a serious supplier whose results are handled properly by the operators running its games, while repeatedly cautioning that its extreme-volatility math, including Duck Hunters' roughly 1-in-22-million odds of hitting the top prize, demands a bankroll built for long droughts.
The studio's willingness to spin off successful titles is visible in Duck Hunters: Happy Hour, a 2026 follow-up on a different grid layout. A sequel arriving within a year signals that the original found enough of an audience to justify expansion, even if Nolimit City's most-cited flagship in press coverage remains San Quentin.
Duck Hunters Against Other Nolimit City Titles
- San Quentin xWays · Prison theme; widely cited as the studio's breakout flagship, with a different grid and higher public profile than Duck Hunters
- Fire in the Hole · Mining theme with a similar extreme-volatility, cascading-multiplier structure but a different bonus buy menu
- Deadwood · Western setting; shares the scatter-pays lineage but lacks Duck Hunters' tiered free-spins system
- Duck Hunters: Happy Hour · 2026 follow-up on a 4-5-6-6-5-4 grid, reusing the hunting theme with a separate RTP and max-win profile
Duck Hunters RTP Configurations
96.05%
Nolimit City lists more than one operator-selectable RTP setting for this title; the figure that applies at a given casino depends on which configuration that operator has licensed.
Nolimit City Games in the Canadian Market
Duck Hunters is not certified by a specific Canadian provincial regulator such as AGCO, BCLC or Loto-Québec on the sources checked here. Canadian players typically reach it through internationally licensed online casinos that accept Canadian traffic, or through sweepstakes-style platforms operating on virtual-currency models. Actual access, betting limits and legality depend on the individual operator's licence and on provincial rules — always 19+ (18+ in AB, MB and QC), and worth confirming with the site itself before depositing.
Nolimit City and Duck Hunters: Common Questions
Is Duck Hunters made by the same team as Duck Hunters: Happy Hour?
Yes, both are Nolimit City releases sharing the hunting theme, but Happy Hour uses a different grid size and its own RTP and max-win figures, so the two should not be treated as identical games.
Did Evolution's 2022 acquisition change how Nolimit City builds its slots?
Public reporting shows Nolimit City kept operating as a distinct brand under Evolution, with development, math and art still handled in-house and its release pace, including Duck Hunters in 2025, continuing unaffected.
Why do RTP figures for Duck Hunters differ between casinos?
Nolimit City ships the game with multiple operator-selectable RTP settings, so the exact percentage running at a given casino depends on which configuration that operator chose to activate.
Is Nolimit City itself licensed to offer games directly to Canadian players?
Nolimit City supplies its games to licensed operators rather than running a casino of its own, so any legality in Canada rests on the licence held by the individual site offering Duck Hunters, not on the studio.
